A New Student, A Systemic Anglicization Policy and an Accidental Playground Revolution
Facundo the Great is the story of how a new student accidentally bucked his school’s policy of anglicizing every Mexican student’s name and became a playground legend. Recorded by StoryCorps and animated by The Rauch Brothers (with art direction by Bill Wray), Ramon “Chunky” Sanchez fondly remembers his classmate Facundo and how he became the wonderful exception to a disastrous rule.
If you like excellent stories, you should definitely watch more StoryCorps animations.
